The Queen’s Rising series – Rebecca Ross
Beautiful series. Half French Renaissance half Scottish highlands, a little bit of magic and lots of intrigue and action. If you loved the romance in Poison Study, you’ll adore the romance between Brienna and Cartier. Seriously, I think I even prefer Cartier over Valek. Maybe. I might have to read them all again to decide. But it’s close.
Iskari series – Kristen Ciccarelli
Great fantasy series with really strong female lead characters, intrigue and dragons. These three books all form a series but each follow different main characters and have a different focus, almost becoming separate titles, though you will need to read them in series order. Great fantasy battles. It was so easy to be drawn into this wonderful story. The depth of the characters, the strength of the emotions, which endlessly build (the romance in this book is….wow, I have no other words
Serpent & Dove series – Shelby Mahurin
Forbidden romance between two people on opposite sides of the law? Magic – in this case witches. Strong female leads. Some very sexy romantic scenes. This one is for the older readers who loved The Poison Study series. The Serpent & Dove series is an evocative fantasy, with witches and the clergymen that hunt them, one girl torn between two worlds, determined to survive, and very steamy romance.
- Serpent & Dove
- Blood & Honey
- Gods and Monsters
The Ryogan Chronicles – Erica Cameron
Diverse characters in this epic trilogy. Really, really loved this fantastic series. It is unique, but if you loved the way the characters all band together to solve their problems in the Study series, then you will love the friendship, romance and camaraderie in the Ryogan Chronicles. Epic scenes, great journeys and an evil to overcome, this series takes you from deserts to mountains, across seas and to new and exotic lands.
Graceling Realm series – Kristin Cashore
-
-
- Graceling
- Fire
- Bitterblue
-
Each book has a fierce and independent heroine and some swoon-worthy romance. Book one and two can be read in any order, but book three should be read last.
But, wait, just when you and I thought this series was over, ten years later we have a fourth book in the series. Winterkeep picks up four years after Bitterblue and once again provides readers with epic fantasy and all the political intrigue you could want.
Lumatere Chronicles – Melina Marchetta
-
-
- Finnikin of the Rock

A lush fantasy series, equally heartbreaking as it is enjoyable. A great quest, with their lives and futures on the line Finnikin and his band of friends will do anything to restore their kingdom after it was destroyed both by invaders and a curse.
The Moorehawke Trilogy – Celine Kiernan
-
-
- The Poison Throne
- The Crowded Shadows
- The Rebel Prince
-
This series shares Poison Study’s political intrigue. It is set in a fantasy world that feels medieval. With less magic, but just as much romance and intrigue, it is a great series.

Beautiful world building, a spunky heroine that modern readers will love, magic, battles, secret plots, romance – Snow Like Ashes has everything you could want in an epic fantasy.

The Shadow Queen is epic, clever, familiar, original, fun, and so enjoyable to read. With one tough, warrior princess, an evil queen, a gorgeous new fantasy world to discover, a charming and slightly adorable romantic interest and even dragons (dragons!!!), The Shadow Queen is set apart from your average fairytale retelling.
Rosemarked by Livia Blackburne
The use of herbs and healing in this book reminded me of Lief. There is also a whole lot of fun banter between soldiers and a tense political situation.
